        Babesia is also one of the parasites that cause major losses in the animal husbandry industry. Identifying the animals carrying Babesia is importance in controlling and preventing the disease. Microscopic observation of the protozoan parasite in the stained blood in the acute form and serological tests is helpful, but most Babesia species cannot be differentiated, and false positive and negative results are generally observed in these tests. Our purpuse was to Assessment the prevalence of Babesia parasite in Andimshek city sheep during spring and summer of 2022 and gender and age effects on it, using the molecular method of polymerase chain reactionIn the spring and summer of 2022, 100 females and 100 male apparently healthy sheep from different areas of Andimshek city were completely randomly blood sampled and sent to the laboratory. After extracting DNA from blood, polymerase chain reaction and electrophoresis was performed. Data were statistically analyzed using spss software and T-test statistical method and mean and standard deviation were calculated. The prevalence of Babesia blood parasite in the female sheeps were higher than males. Also prevalence of this blood parasite in sheep over 2 year’s old was higher than under 2 years. But the prevalence rate in males and females in different ages and different months of spring and summer was not significant. The results showed that the prevalence of Babesia blood parasite in Andimeshk city sheeps in spring and summer does not depend on sex, age and season. Manuscript profile

        Ticks are one of the most important obligate and external blood-feeding parasites of terrestrial vertebrates. This terminus can harm its host by sucking blood and transmits many pathogenic organisms that cause animal and human diseases. To carry out this study, 434 ticks were collected from 2360 sheep and 123 cows from villages around Durood city. The samples were taken to the laboratory for testing. Because the purpose of the investigation was the cephalus tick, we grouped this tick into 4 groups including male and female groups with different weights. We prepared different dilutions of fuxim and cypermethrin with normal water and exposed each group to these toxins by flotation method. The effect of poison on the larvae of Rhipicephalus sanguineus mite was investigated by the method of preparing a filter bag .Rhipicephalus female tick showed more resistance to cypermethrin poison, therefore, excessive consumption of poisons should be prevented and on the other hand, poisons should be used in combination to prevent tick resistance Manuscript profile

          Breeding of horses and equines for different purposes has always been done in Iran and other parts of the world. Golestan province, especially Gonbad Kavos city, is one of the hubs of horse breeding in Iran. One of the biggest problems of keeping animals is infection with all kinds of parasitic diseases.  The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of external and blood parasites of horses and its risk factors in Gonbad Kavus city. This study was carried out cross-sectionally for 6 months on 128 horses with symptoms of external and blood parasites in different areas of Gonbad Cavus was done.  First, the entire body of the animal was examined macroscopically, and after all of them, a blood sample was prepared. The results of the study showed that 100 samples (78.12%) were infected with pirplasmosis blood parasite and there was no other type of blood parasite infection.  generally, the results of the present study showed that the contamination with blood parasites in Kavus Dome is high and worrying and has no relation to age and gender. The level of external parasites shows the high health of horses in the region. Manuscript profile
